I get a lot of inspiration from being out in the world and paying attention to imagery. This includes photos in ads, physical environments, or images online or in a physical space like a museum. I like to focus on how different approaches make me feel and how well an image tells a story. I take all of that as inspiration and use it in my approach to photography. The well-worn phrase is that a picture is worth a thousand words. I think pictures are also full of feelings, stories, and impressions.
